Frequently asked questions
Where can I download Escadrille?
The game is coming soon to the App Store, free, for iPhone and iPad. The link will be added here as soon as it is out.
Do I need an account or an Internet connection?
No. The game plays entirely offline, with no account or login. It contains no ads.
How do I fly?
The stick is an on-screen joystick; the throttle sits on the console. Push the throttle to take off from the airstrip, fire with the big red button and pick your weapon from the rack: machine guns, rockets, missiles, flamethrower, bombs. Left-handed players can swap the controls in the settings.
What are the modules for?
Enemies you shoot down drop alien modules. In the hangar they pay for your plane's upgrades: laser cannons, armour, shield, plasma engine, machine gun rate and calibre, extra missiles and bombs.
How do I get the plasma jet?
Shoot down a mothership: destroy its generators one by one, then the cannon under its hull.
I can't reach the mothership
It hides above the sea of clouds: climb above the layer to find it, and keep an eye on the drones it releases.
Can several pilots play on the same device?
Yes. Each pilot has a first name and their own progress (modules, upgrades, missions, medals), up to six pilots.
Is my progress saved?
Yes, on the device. It is not sent anywhere: if you delete the game, it is deleted with it (unless your device's iCloud or computer backup kept it).
Is the game in English?
Not yet: the game interface is in French.
